Abstract in brief

The study found that obese children have lower serum magnesium levels compared to lean children, and these levels are inversely related to fasting insulin and positively related to insulin sensitivity, indicating a link between magnesium deficiency and insulin resistance.
Obese children also consumed less dietary magnesium, which was associated with higher fasting insulin and lower insulin sensitivity, suggesting that inadequate magnesium intake may contribute to insulin resistance in childhood.
Overall, the research suggests that magnesium deficiency during childhood may be connected to insulin resistance, and increasing magnesium intake through diet or supplementation could help prevent type 2 diabetes in obese children.]
